That prepare Google and Android for the year 2017 [Exclusive Guide]

the 2016 year ends. A year during which we experienced a new major version of Android, the Nougat 7.0, as well as a change in direction for Google that created its own smartphones with Google Pixel and Pixel XL. It was a year hinge for the developer, which happen in 2017 by plans far greater that we present today.

2016 was a more than interesting year in the Android world, particularly on the end. We saw fall champions, rising stars to form, and new concepts developed to restore the PEP in a market that was beginning to stagnate.

In many ways, this was the most important Google year since she for been one of change. In launching its Google Pixel and Pixel XL , the developer for finally become constructor. He himself admitted at the conference Made By Google: he’s more afraid to create the best material for its software.

But where all this leading? If 2016 was the year Google hinge, 2017 must be the year of consecration. Using the crumbs scattered by my passage, and a few rumors surrounding my future, we’ll see what for in mind the great industrialist for my future.

the year 2016 the dedication

remind first of all the facts. As the exclusive developer of Android, its operating system free and free to use and modify for manufacturers, Google was always in a difficult position as soon as it was to create my own material.

Indeed, the partners of today could quickly become the enemies of tomorrow if the Builder for become developer wasn’t playing well my cards. That is why the Nexus range, today abandoned , perfectly fulfilled its role by allowing consumers to taste Android according to him as well as maintaining cordial relations with the players in the market.

What prepare a change on the sly without for as much shock neither contributors nor consumers. And this change for taken the form of Google Pixel and Pixel XL, which continued to be produced by a third party without that their brand is now displayed. The control of the developer’s total.

And what about Android? With version 7.0 Nougat, it finally natively integrates the best improvements have made the third overlays for many years to its formula. This win/win relationship is beneficial to Google, while manufacturers are now too rooted in its machine to truly be able to fight against it. Evidenced by Tizen that Samsung for always failed to take off.

In short, Google is now in the best of positions. The Android universe is consolidated, its material universe doesn’t start but already benefits from the best of what is on the market at a lower cost. It is now time to establish my dominance.

a final farewell to the control of the third-party manufacturers

for a few years already, the biggest weak point of our favorite operating system for always been its update cycle. Not that they are not frequent but they are rarely deployed by manufacturers who do their own thing.

Next directions for Android, all manufacturers will now have to observe because they are now far too invested in the ecosystem, will force them to adopt a new architecture for the system.

This new architecture will separate some systems in a new APK blocks, that Google will be able to update as seems to him via the Store. What eradicate the slightest need to acceptances and preliminary changes to manufacturers, in order to finally resolve the Android distribution so that all are at the same level.

This already beneficial step for consumers is even more for Google which will finally acquire a certain autonomy on its operating system. It will of course always leave some freedoms builders, but this change will allow a very strong message that only its competitor can claim to have for the moment: the new features of the OS will be accessible to everyone, at the same time, quickly.

improve the Android ecosystem by avoiding cuts

to say: the future is to the IoT for Internet of Things, either connected rendered everyday objects and have new features. Google Home, assistant vocal automation presented by the manufacturer recently, can be seen as a step towards this.

Although the first steps of this industry were not very convincing, the high-tech market is turning to this new industry mass. The American brand is of course part, but for had to adapt to this.

We could see it through the creation of Android Wear, Android Auto, Android TT etc. But these efforts to half-made for the most part are not necessarily conclusive at the moment. the strategy on Google 2017 would be any other.

Microsoft for paved the way to tablets made for productivity with its Surface range, so it’s only natural that Google rushes there while the applications in the suite Google Docs are growing in the world of work in the face of Microsoft Office.

We all know: the Tablet Pixel C is a product released too early , which should have been provided a new version of Android or Chrome OS. With Andromeda, my vision would have been fully realized. So we bet to such a project in the making for years is finally out in 2017.

to storm through the Google brand material

2016 was the year where Google for become known as a constructor to the general public. Where the developer took more rights and control over its application universe. And the year 2017 seems to be launched to finally be the coronation of Android as a viable operating system for many devices, targeting both the general public and professionals.

There the last point of this vision is filled, namely that the devices in question is size to fight on a highly competitive market. And obviously, the brand only will once again trust to itself.

More than ever, Google for all the cards in hand to succeed a year 2017, which will be particularly explosive in all likelihood. Whether on the plan hardware or software, the brand will resonate as never before.
